Title: Vehicle airbag restraint system having an indicator to alert driver when airbag is disarmed and seat belt is fastened
Inventor: RYAN SEAN TIMOTHY
IPC: B60R21/01
Filed: 2001-08-13
Abstract: Airbag restraint system for use in a vehicle having a passenger seat 12, an airbag 18 and a seat belt 14 provides an indication to the vehicle driver that airbag 18 is disabled when an infant seat 11 is secured to the passenger seat 12 using the seat belt 14. The system includes an occupancy classification system 20 such as a weight sensor and/or a non-contact occupancy sensor 22 and a seat belt sensor 24 for detecting whether seat belt 14 is fastened or unfastened. An airbag module 26 receives input from the occupancy system 20,22 and in response arms or disarms the airbag 18. An airbag condition indicator 28 alerts the driver when the passenger seat airbag 18 is disarmed because the seat is considered to be unoccupied and the seat belt 14 is fastened, therefore when an infant seat 11 is secured to the passenger seat 12 using seat belt 14, and infant seat 11 and infant have a weight too low to provide a seat occupied condition to the airbag control module 26, the airbag condition indicator 28 indicates to the driver that the airbag 18 is disarmed.

Title: System and method for transmitting and displaying interactive TV content
Inventor: BARONE SAMUEL T
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2001-06-27
Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for preloading interactive content before it is to be displayed, thereby avoiding any unwanted delays due to download times.

Title: Approach for re-using business rules
Inventor: SERRANO CARLOS MORALES
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2001-05-09
Abstract: An approach is described for developing software that executes rules, such as business rules. A group of rule templates defines a rule structure for rules that may be executed by a rules engine. Separate ruleflow templates define tasks that entail the execution of rules. Each of the ruleflow templates associates a task with the group of rule templates. Because the ruleflow templates define the association between the tasks and the group of rule templates, during execution of the tasks a rules engine executes rules defined by the group of templates. User interfaces are automatically generated based on the group of rule templates. A user may interact with the user interfaces to edit the rules defined by the group of templates. After editing the rules, executing the tasks associated with the group of templates will cause execution of the modified rules.

Title: Drill string rotation encoding
Inventor: BARON EMILIO
IPC: E21B47/12
Filed: 2004-07-01
Abstract: A method for communicating with a downhole device is provided. The method includes predefining an encoding language including codes understandable to the device, the codes represented in the language as predefined value combinations of drill string rotation variables such as rotation rate or duration. The method further includes rotating a drill string at first and second rates and measuring the rotation rates downhole. The first measured rotation rate is processed downhole in combination with the second measured rotation rate to acquire a code in the language at the downhole device.

Title: Digital transmission repeater employing a number of different decoding-encoding paths and selecting a path according to number of errors in signal.
Inventor: BUTLER DAVID PAUL
IPC: H04N19/89
Filed: 2004-09-09
Abstract: A Variable Depth Regenerative Repeater 40 is disclosed employing a number of different decoding-encoding paths. In each path the extent or depth to which the received signal is decoded and subsequently encoded is different. As a result quicker decoding-encoding paths are provided through the repeater at the expense of the coding gain given by the decoding-encoding process. The quicker paths result in a smaller delay of the signal as it passes through the repeater, and can be selected when the number of errors in the digital signal is below a predetermined number. When the number of errors rise above a predetermined level however, a more rigorous decoding-encoding path or depth can be selected, resulting in correction of at least some of the errors that have arisen, but a longer delay. By monitoring the number of errors and choosing the decoding-encoding path appropriately, the overall transmission delay through one or more repeaters can be reduced.
